Franklin Delano Roosevelt, born January 30th, 1882, was the 32nd President of the United States. A Democrat, he was elected four times and served from March 1933 until his death in April of 1945. He was a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic depression and total war.

A dominant leader of the Democratic Party, he built a New Deal Coalition that realigned American politics after 1932. His policies defined American liberalism for the middle third of the 20th Century. Internationally, he worked closely with the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, along with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, in leading the Allies against Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan during WWII. Roosevelt dominated the American political scenes during the twelve years of his presidency, and his polciies and ideas continued to have significant influence for decades afterwards.

Presidential Dollars

The historic Presidential Dollars series began in 2007 with coins for George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. This is the FIRST coin program in history to honor all of America's Presidents, and it is destined to be the most popular collection in history, even BIGGER and more popular than the State Quarters!

Each golden coin is strictly a limited edition. The Washington and Adams coins that were made for circulation are already out of issue.
The unique edge lettering on each Presidential Dollar makes the series a "special" first in United States history. It has never been done before on a coin intended for circulation. This was accomplished by each coin being struck twice; once for the image front and back, the second the edge lettering. This process created two distinct varieties:
Coins with lettering "Face-Up" aka: Type I
Coins with the edge lettering "Face-Down" aka: Type II.

This is a Denver Mint uncirculated presidential dollar. It will be encapsulated to protect its condition.
